San Francisco Public Utilities Commission Digital Arts Panorama (video)



SFPUC Digital Arts Panorama from Obscura Digital on Vimeo.
The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission Digital Arts Panorama is a seamless curved digital canvas that provides an interactive educational experience for the public and provides an infrastructure that allows new content experiences to be continually updated in the future. The Digital Arts Panorama stands 4’ tall by 58’ long, with a resolution 24,000 pixels wide, and is comprised of live data, graphic visualizations, an interactive platform, and ambient music.
The permanent installation turns the building lobby into a real-time dashboard about what the Public Utilities Commission is doing and how its LEED Platinum certified building is performing. Gesture based real-time news populates on the screen as visitors interact with this dynamic and intelligent system.
Obscura Digital designed and engineered 4-custom unique interactive experiences with motion responsive visuals and sound effects for the Digital Arts Wall including: ‘Snowfall to Outfall’, ‘Media Stream’, ‘Dashboard’ and “Interactive Art Mode”. Each content experience provides an educational and entertaining platform for SFPUC employees and visitors including hundreds of school children to learn more about the history, art, current-issues and future goals of the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission.
This innovative, exciting, interactive educational art piece is a dynamic outreach tool for the San Francisco community, open to the public during regular SFPUC business hours.
